A photo of a Yoruba man making rounds on social media currently shows a Nigerian man wearing what seems as protection on his waist in broad daylight.

The man in the photo obviously was not in the country as the photo reveals as he could be seen closing his luggage while a white man was standing by him.

The charm worn by the man is reportedly called ‘Igbaadi’ in Yoruba which is translated in English as ‘Protection Belt’ and the photo since surfacing on social media has sparked an uproar as many are giving diverse opinions to it.

Could it be a charm? Is this a result of the prevalent insecurity in the country?

Recall a northern governor has called on Nigerians to protect themselves. The Nigeria Minister of Defence has made the same call that Nigerians should rise up and defend themselves in the face of the damning insecurity bedeviling the country.

This one say you will still die one day. Even pastor will die one day. Who no go die one day?

That's what he believes in. Some wear rosary on their necks for protection, some tesbha. What ever you believe would protect you, pls wear. And if you still don't believe in anything.....still good. Just live and let's live. To each, his own!

And YET they are are the current WORLD boxing heavyweight champions and the current UFC WORLD MMA Champions.

When will Igbos produce an Anthony Joshua or an Israel Adesanya? Asking for a friend.

You call people coward but you cannot compete with them at the highest level of Global combat sports.

Please don't quote me. I am not Yoruba. I just like exposing stupid people.

Not different from holy water, Catholic rosary, Muslim prayer beads etc. To each his own.

And how is that different from a Rosary with crucifix on a catholic's neck or a Japamala on a Buddhist or Hindu's neck??

Besides, is Yoruba written on the mans 'bumbum'? How did the poster know his ethnicity? Charms & amulets are a prominent feature of many African cultures from east to west, north to south. One of the major issues with the use of social media the world over is that people believe anything they see on SM without asking the important questions.
